~PETUNIAS 
For outdoor decoration, porch or window boxes few plants equal the 
Petunia in effectiveness. They commence flowering early and con- 
tinue a sheet of bloom throughout the whole season until killed by 
frost; easily cultivated, only requiring a good soil and sunny position. 
Tt is best to sow them indoors and transplant to the open in May. The 
Single Bedding kinds can be sown out of doors in May. We have 
long been celebrated for our magnificent strains of both the single and 
double varieties, which we endeavor to improve each year by careful 
selection and hybridization,

DREER’S SUPERB SINGLE-FRINGED PETUNIAS 
Large-flowering 
Double Petunias 
Note.—It is well known that seed 
saved from the most carefully hybrid- 
ized flowers produce but a small per- 
centage of double flowers, the balance 
being single of unusually fine quality. 
The weaker seedlings should be care- 
fully saved, as these invariably pro- 
duce the finest double flowers. The 
same is true of the single sorts, the 
large, strong seedlings usually being 
weedy, while the, at first, weaker 
seedlings produce the very finest flow- 
ers, of best colorings.
